Shape & Base: Classic shield/tombstone shape approximately 4.5″ tall with rounded shoulders and pointed bottom, featuring a deep navy blue twill base with bright gold merrowed border edge that creates a distinguished, professional appearance.

Top Section: “BETTENDORF” arches prominently across the upper portion in bold gold block lettering, establishing clear municipal identification with excellent contrast against the navy background.

Center: A circular city seal dominates the center, framed by a gold ring border. “CITY OF” arches across the top and “BETTENDORF” curves along the bottom of the gold ring in navy blue lettering. The inner scene depicts the iconic I-74 suspension bridge spanning the Mississippi River—the landmark that connects Bettendorf to Moline, Illinois, and symbolizes the Quad Cities’ interstate community. The bridge is rendered in detailed black silhouette against a light blue sky, with blue water below representing the Mississippi. “IOWA” appears within the scene, completing the state identification.

Bottom Section: “POLICE” spans across the lower portion in bold gold block lettering, completing the departmental identification as the shield tapers to its point.

Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates excellent stitch density with clean color separation throughout the navy, gold, and light blue palette. The bridge silhouette features accurate suspension cable detail, while the circular seal displays crisp lettering and scenic composition. The gold merrowed border provides a distinguished frame, ensuring durability for daily patrol wear.
